Indonesia Nightlife
What to Do at Night in Indonesia
The Indonesians certainly know how to throw a party. Like all major cities, especially in Asia, nightfall brings to light a myriad of drinking and dancing establishments. World-class DJs are often found spinning in the major clubs in the capital as well as at offshore venues on idyllic islands, entertaining the holiday crowd. Bali’s nightlife has something for everyone, from laid-back beach bars to up-tempo clubbing, to traditional dance and performance and this could be said of other Indonesian island destinations.
Nightlife of course doesn’t have to involve getting intoxicated and dancing the night away. The Indonesians are renowned for staging spectacular traditional song and dance performances. Urban areas also have a profusion of cinemas, Karaoke joints and bowling alleys.

Like Bangkok, Jakarta offers, or some would say suffers from a juxtaposition of upscale establishments and venues laced with sleaze and a dash of sauciness. Read more...
